Baby items.
Parents can relate to how expensive baby items are: diapers alone can cost $200 per month! Many families are forced to choose between purchasing the items their baby needs and being able to pay for other necessities.
If you have diapers in sizes your baby grew out of, or some baby shampoo you never ended up using, we'll help connect them with community members who need them!
